Cookielicious: Recipes to Bake and Share Book

Life's Short, so Eat Cookies (from Cookielicious!) — 'I have tasted every single one of the book's recipes and can personally vouch for their wow factor,' says Janet Keeler, Food & Travel Editor of the St. Petersburg Times. 'And perhaps more importantly,' says the award-winning writer, 'I am not alone in my assessment. My very willing husband and confirmed chocoholic son never once turned down the opportunity to try the latest concoction, and state their opinions-not to mention eager fellow journalists and friends.' Noting that life is short, so we need to eat more cookies, Janet Keeler and The St. Petersburg Times will soon launch Cookielicious!, Recipes to Bake and Share. Keeler, an admitted cookie addict, created, gathered, tested, and, of course, used recipes from her own recipe box and those suggested by her loyal readers. She literally sifted through and tested over 5,000 recipes before choosing the 150 selected for publication. The result: a 'cookielicious' book of the most scrumptious cookies ever published!Each cookie is pictured in full color in a lay-flat format, and Keeler includes plenty of hints and techniques for no-fail baking. Easy-to-follow instructions cover all skill levels - from first-time to seasoned baker. Ingredients are readily available in supermarkets, and there is no need for exotic equipment. 'This cookbook has cookies for every occasion and every holiday. I have included the 'freezeworthiness' of each recipe so you can bake ahead, and then make any day so you can have a Cookielicious! day at a moment's notice!'
